Company Description:
Wickersham Construction and Engineering, Inc. traces its history to the John H. Wickersham Engineering and Construction Company founded in 1906. Much of the firm's early work was in the design and construction of structures using reinforced concrete, which was just gaining acceptance as a construction method. One of Wickersham's earliest reinforced concrete projects is the former Wickersham Printing building, still in use, on the second block of East Chestnut Street. Its prominence in reinforced concrete structures led to the construction of buildings as distant as Wheeling, West Virginia and Baltimore, Maryland.
